Sophos for Microsoft SharePoint, version 3 release notes

New in this version

Support for Windows Server 2012 and 2012 R2 with Microsoft SharePoint
2013. This release is specifically for Microsoft Sharepoint 2013.

Information about application errors on a server is now displayed on the
Dashboard, in the System console section.
(SUG83968)

A number of security enhancements have been implemented. These include enhanced password obfuscation, tightened
remote permissions (DEF56483), and enhanced resilience to malicious redirection (WKI63367).

The Quarantine search feature now searches from the product’s installation date by default.

Fixed issues

(DEF86778) When installing Sophos for Microsoft SharePoint
on a second server in a second server farm, the option to join an existing configuration group is not available
- the only option is to create a new configuration group.

(SUG66998) On Japanese locale, the email confirmation dialog box in Quarantine (which is displayed when the
user selects a quarantined item and clicks the email "envelope" icon) displays a mixture of Japanese and English
text. The Cancel button is in Japanese and the title bar has both Japanese and English
text.

(DEF61519) The Close button on the title bar of the dialog boxes does not have the same
effect as the Cancel button within the dialog boxes—it simply hides the dialog, which may
not be the correct behavior in all cases.

(SUG64000) When the user chooses which log entries to view and selects a time range within the same day, there
should be a warning if the start time is later than the finish time.

Known issues

The description of some problems includes an identifier in brackets, for example "(DEF22335)". You
can use this identifier if you need to contact Sophos
technical support about the problem in question.

(DEF65091) Sophos for Microsoft SharePoint fails to install on Windows Server 2008 (including R2) if the Windows Firewall service is disabled.

(DEF68462) If you try to install Sophos for Microsoft SharePoint on a
computer that uses a remote mirrored SQL server database, then the installer might give an error message
"An error occurred while extracting the administration group from the selected configuration group."

This is because the computer has an older SQL driver than what is required for SQL mirroring.

To workaround this issue, exit the Sophos for Microsoft SharePoint installer, install the SQL
native client from the installer's resources folder and restart the Sophos for SharePoint
installation.

If you have Microsoft
Forefront Security for SharePoint installed, you must uninstall Forefront
before installing
Sophos for Microsoft SharePoint.

(WKI37430, DEF37844) If User Access Control is enabled on Windows Server 2008, and the installing user is not the
Administrator account, then the installation wizard displays the following message on the
Service Credentials page when the Next button is
clicked:

Setup was unable to access Microsoft SharePoint using
the specified account.

(DEF30965) Microsoft Outlook may automatically remove some of the line
breaks when viewing email alerts generated by Sophos for Microsoft SharePoint.

The installer may fail with
an error "Setup was unable to create the
Sophos for Microsoft SharePoint
databases".

This can happen if, in the past, you have uninstalled the SOPHOS
database instance from Microsoft SQL Server or uninstalled Microsoft SQL Server
itself. In this case, delete the following files from the
MS_SQL_INSTALL_FOLDER\MSSQL.X\MSSQL\Data folder.

SavSpCnfg.mdf

SavSpCnfg_log.ldf

SavSpLog.mdf

SavSpLog_log.ldf

SavSpQuar.mdf

SavSpQuar_log.ldf

SavSpRprt.mdf

SavSpRprt_log.ldf

During installation, you can
specify the Microsoft SQL Server you want to use. If you click 'Browse' to
browse to the server, the browser window may not list the Microsoft SQL Server
database instance that you wish to select. In this case, type the database name
into the text box provided, in the format MACHINENAME\INSTANCENAME, e.g.
MYDBSERVER\SOPHOS.

During installation, when
you specify the Microsoft SQL Server, the installer may fail to connect to the
chosen Microsoft SQL Server database instance. In this case, you should:

Ensure that the instance
name is correct and that you have administrative privileges on the SQL server.

If you are using a
Microsoft SQL Server 2005 or 2008 database located on a different computer (a
remote database), use the Microsoft SQL Server Configuration Manager to enable
the TCP/IP protocol for the database instance and start the SQL Server Browser
service.

During installation if you choose a database that is located on a
different computer (that is, remote database) in a workgroup, or choose a database that is in a
different domain then the installer will fail to set the necessary access rights on the database and
display the following error message:

Setup was unable to configure the access permissions on SQL
Server instance MACHINENAME\INSTANCENAME for user DOMAIN\USERNAME

The installation program
will then proceed but after installation the product may not have access to the chosen database. In
this case, contact Sophos technical support for a workaround.

Additional information

During installation, the
installer will restart IIS. Under certain circumstances it may also require the
computer to be restarted.

During installation, you may notice a few errors in the Event log as
described below.

These errors are reported when Sophos for Microsoft SharePoint
installer attempts to detect the presence of Visual C++ redistributables. These
errors can be ignored safely.
